Lucky is a Fox player from Norwalk, California who usually teams with Mango at nationals. He is currently ranked 1st and 2nd on the SoCal Project M and Melee Power Rankings, respectively. Lucky also uses Captain Falcon as a secondary, which has garnerned him the nickname of Batman while playing as him.

Lucky emerged as a notable player in the SoCal community when he started teaming with Mango at tournaments, and the two began to achieve high placings at doubles events, such as 5th at Zero Challenge 3 and 3rd at Super Champ Combo, beating the famed team of Ken and Isai (El Chocolate Diablo) at the latter, with the team being known as "4-Leaf Mango". Lucky also placed quite highly in singles events, placing 17th at both Zero Challenge 3 and EVO World 2007.

Lucky is currently considered one of the best Fox players on the West Coast, along with Fiction and SFAT. He consistently places highly at nationals, with some of his more notable recent placings including 9th at MLG Anaheim 2014, 4th at Kings of Cali 4, 13th at EVO 2015, and 1st at Smash the Record 2015. He has taken sets off of notable players such as Fiction, S2J, Westballz, and aMSa in tournament.

The Big House 4 is almost inarguably Lucky's best performance yet. After losing early in the bracket to Kalamazhu, Lucky went on a tear through loser's. He defeated Darrell and Gahtzu to secure Top 32, and then went on to defeat Zanguzen, DJ Nintendo, Colbol and even knocked Hungrybox into 9th in an upset to secure top 8, where he then defeated Westballz and brought Mango through an incredibly close 5 games where he lost in a last stock, last hit situation, securing 5th place at the tourney. He is also known to have landed a Sacred Combo on Mike Haze
